Twenty years after the events of John Carpenter's original Halloween, Michael Myers tracks down his sister laurie (Jamie Lee Curtis) now the, understandably, disturbed and alcoholic head of 'Hillcrest Academy', a private school.

The fictitious town of 'Summer Glen' is the Main Street of the city of La Puente, about 20 miles east of downtown Los Angeles.

The school itself is a mansion complex built for film star Antonio Moreno in the Twenties. For many years it was a Franciscan convent, and it’s now abandoned. Only the wrought iron gates and the gatehouse are visible. The Canfield-Moreno Residence and Complex, at 1923 Micheltorena Street in Silverlake, is also used in Scream 3 and more recently in Nicolas Winding Refn's bizarro 2016 The Neon Demon.
